such a description to nil those who In

It Is possible, however, that the eap

would prove a better fit for us If we
could persuade ourselves to “try It

and In runny ensea probably tyiwar-

distinctive characteristics of the pres-

and Its consequent sacrifice of many
of those refining and restraining In-

Gustav Frenssen's "Klaus Illnrtcb
linns" reminds one of “Dnvld Copper
field” In Its long deliberative unwind-
ing of a life hlBtory up to middle age,
and a little, too. In ItH general plan,
with Its unhappy love marriage fol-
lowed by a more satisfactory union,
snys the London Times. Hut Frenssen
plows deep In the field of moral and
social problems, and his plot Is con-
vincing—we are not obliged to take
the facts on the honor of the narrator.
The hero Is a peasant's son- -a piece
of tough, proud, full-blooded North
German humanity. In one moment of
bitter disillusionment he asks himself
what his too great teachers. School
and Church, had done for him except
mlslend him. They had given him
fables, impossible Idealisms, "two gos-
pels, the gospel of the Savior and
the gospel of Schiller, but of true,
genuine knowledge of life not a ves-
tige." Mow lie gels this knowledge
Is the theme of the book; a flno and
moving story which flows on In a
broad stream of Incident and charac-
ter that gives a singularly powerful
Impression of the massiveness and
variety of life.

ORIGIN OF WEDDING RINGS
MAKING PLANS FOR CAMPING FRENCH GRAY MOST POPULAR
New York Is protesting against a
new danger In the reckless driving of
automobiles by boys and girls through
the streets, nnd legal means are to be
sought to prevent the lives of citi-
zens being put In danger by children.
The automobile. In some way, seeina
to be associated with disregard of the
rights of pedestrians to an extent
which lias rendered It a mennoe of
civilization, as well as one of its lux-
uries. Hut as far as children nre con-
cerned. they should be legally re-
strained from being allowed In gliarge
of any vehicle. They are too fond of
any kind of power nnd too Irresponsi-
ble In Its use—an exceedingly danger-
ous combination.
Now It Is discovered that the fa-
mous pirate, Captain Kidd, who, ac-
cording to the old song, "much wick-
edness he did as he sailed,” was
really no pirate at all, but an honest
and good-tempered old sailor. Hut
there are some cherished illusions to
which the mind will always cling, nnd
It will require more authority than Is
given to Induce the popular Imagina-
tion to accept a romantic and pic-
turesque pirate as an uninteresting
and commonplace good honest man.

Another rich American girl Is to
marry an English nobleman The
next generation of the British peer- \
age will be ns much American as Eng-
lish, if these international marriages
keep on. and with such an Infusion of
Americanism, even the famous British
conservatism and love of tradition
may give way to a startling extent.
But the nation seems not to care for
this American danger as long as it
ran assimilate so much of the Amer-
ican coin.
A dreadnaught Is a formidable ob-
ject. but It affords a shining mark for

Matter of Appropriate Clothing Must
Be Reckoned as One of High
I mportance.
! With the Increased Interest In
camping out as a part of summer
life there are probably few girls who
have not tiled it and many to whom
It Is a regular feature of each year's
pleasure.
It is only the Inveterate camp
who do not make mistakes In
mntter of what It Is host to take Oj

of clothes has a great deal to do
one's enjoyment. With the
clothes there Is little need to t

Of paramount Importance is

Crocheted Knobs.

Is fastened. The cord supports a little
wooden ball. To test the lungs the
device Is held in front of the face and

I it revolves it winds up the cord. As
there are markings on the cord to in-
: dlcate how much is wound up the
relative lung strength of the people
i using the aparatus can readily be de-
termined.
ATHLETIC SUIT VERY USEFUL
For Hard-Wear Skirts.
When making a serge skirt that Is
to have hard wear, try the effect of
lining the front breadth. Lined skirts
nre seldom seen nowadays and would I
be much too heavy for summer; but !
one that has no lining Is very apt to
wrinkle across the front, especially If j
It fits well over the hips. When cut ;
ting the front breadth, cut with It a
piece of silk, sateen or some very j
thin lining and proceed to make up I
the Bklrt in the usual way
You will be surprised to sec how j
much longer your skirt lasts, and how !
much nicer It looks to the very end.

Bloomers Under Skirt, Which Can Be
Fastened Out of the Way—Conve-
nient for Bicycle Riding.
Most girls prefer bloomers for wear
In bathing or while indulging In other
athletic exercises, but do not care to
walk around in them. For their bene-
fit a California man has designed a
According to Ancient Ritual Husband
Began by Placing Band on Thumb
and Next Three Fingers.
According to the ancient ritual In
marriage, the husband began the ring
business by placing It upon the bride's
thumb ami putting it successively on
the next two fingers, pronouncing for
each one a person of the Trinity;
with a final amen when the fourth
finger was reached, and there the ring
remained.
The Greek church ritual directs that
the ring be placed upon the right
hand. Puritan Influence sought to
nbollsh the ring ns a vain and heathen
emblem, but the sweet old fashion of
giving nnd taking emblem, “for our
love’s sake,” yet remains to us.
Betrothal or engagement rings vary
In fashion nowadays and always de-
pend, or should, on tha purse of the
donor. Where there are no limitations
of this sort his taste, If it be perfect,
will lead him to choose a diamond
solitaire, and of the best he can af-
ford, a small and pure blue-white
stone being altogether preferable to
a large stone. Some prefer a ring set
with three stones, generally a sap-
phire set between two diamonds. Oth-
ers select a ruby or an emerald, which
signifies promise of happiness.
Few persons choose pearls for an
engagement ring, as pearls are suit-
posed to typify tears. They are also
too perishable to become emblems of
love, which, in its first glow, at least,
is always understood to be indestruc- |
tible. Their beauty is very precarious,
being dimmed or “aged,” as the lapi-
dary expresses it, by contact with im-
pure air, while acid annihilates them
comjiletely.

costume which combines both bloom-
ers and skirt, but which provides for
fastening the latter article out of the
way. The skirt has a front flap which
can be opened and fastened up to the
waist, leaving the lower limbs free in
the bifurcated garments and permit-
ting much greater freedom of move-
ment. The other part of the skirt is
sewed fast to the seams of the bloom-
ers and when the wearer is swimming
for instance, helps keep her afloat.
This costume is also a convenient one
for cycling, as the skirt can be fast-
ened up when she dismounts. The
waistband of the costnme is of elas-
tic dimensions.
YOUTH AND AGE.
I asked my pa a simple thing,
“Where holes In doughnuts go.”
Pn read his paper then he said:
“Oh. you're too young to know."
I asked my ma about the wind.
"Why can't you see It blow?'
Ma thought a moment, then she
"Oh, you’re too young to know.'
said:
Now. why on earth do you suppose
They went and licked me so?
Ma asked. “Where Is that jam?” I said,
"Oh. I'm too young to know."
Pretty Work Bag.
A very convenient work bag can be
made of two pieces of gray linen, cir-
cular in shape. They are sewed to-
gether, excepting about four inches at
each end. which allows for a vent
The ends are then gathered over
two large bone rings, which serve as
handles, and by means of these rings,
the bag when not In use is hung out
of the way.
Before making the bag It is deco-
rated with a scroll design in blue car-
nation braid and the vent scallops
embroidered with blue cotton floss.
Way to Open Pea Pod.
Little Ruth, aged four, was visiting
In the country. One day she saw her
grandmother opening some pods and
asked what they were. "They are peas
for your dinner, my dear,”,was the
reply.
A couple of days later the old lady
v.as doing the same thing again, when
Ruth said: "Grandma, may I help un-
button the peas?"
Thinking of Himself.
Little Elmer was riding on a hobby
horse with a playmate. He was on the
horse’s neck, and did not feel comfort-
able. After a moment's reflection he
said:
"Willie. I think if one of us gets off
1 could ride better.”

some kindly elder soul took you into

that the unwinking star overhead was

"I think the Cutlcura remedies ate
the best remedies for eczema I hat e
ever heard of. My mother had a child
who had a rash on its head when It
was real young. Doctor called It baby
rash. He gave us medicine, but It did
no good. In a few days the head was
a solid mass, a running sore. It was
awful; the child cried continually We
had to hold him and watch him to
keep him from scratching the sore.
His suffering was dreadful. At last
wo remembered Cutlcura Remedies.
We got a dollar bottle of Cutlcura Re-
solvent, a box of Cutlcura Olf/tment,
and a bar of Cutlcura Soap. V/e gave
the Resolvent as directed, washed the
head with the Cutlcura Soap and ap-
plied the Cutlcura Ointment. We had
not used half before the child’s head
was clear nnd free from eczema, and
It has never come back again. His
head was healthy and he had a beau-
tiful head of hair. I think the Cutl-
cura Ointment very good for the hair.
It makes the hair grow and prevents
falling hair." (Signed) Mrs. Francis
Lund, Plain City, Utah, Sept. 19, 1910.

ment are sold everywhere, a sample-
of each, with 32-page hook, will be

"Mother, did God make the earth?”
Inquired a very little girl with ft
very large lump of Inquisitiveness.
"Yes.”

“Yes.”
“And did he make the sun and moon-
and stars and peoples?"
“Yes.”

"Yes, dear—he did it all by him-

Men Iron Better Than Women.
That men are to take the place of
women ns hand ironers in St. Louis
is predicted by some of the laundry
with reflected light, while the stars
“burned," was supposed to explain thie
twinkling, as against the steadfast
radiance. Even this young illusion Ss
dispelled by a British scientist, who
says:
"The twinkling of the stars is chief-
ly an effect produced in our atmos-
phere upon the waves of light. It it
due to currents and strata of air of
different densities intermingling and
floating past each other, through which
the light passes to the eye. It is seen
much more in cold than in warm
weather, and near the horizon more
than overhead. The same effect may
be seen by looking out of a window
over a hot radiator, or at a candle
held on the other side of a hot stove,
so that one must look through a body
of highly heated air at the candle
flame. The flame will be seen to
waver and quiver. The various layers
of air are at different densities and in
motion. Rapid twinkling of the stars
is a sign of a change of weather.”
